Or have you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:5 Go To Matthew 12
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Break the sabbath; i.e. they do that, which if the divine worship did not require, would not be allowed on the sabbath, as the work they do, of its own nature, is servile.
